Special Topic Information:

With the increasing pressures from global climate change, population growth, and urbanization,
water resources face significant challenges. This special topic aims to explore the latest technologies,
methodologies, and policies to achieve sustainable and efficient water resource management.
We are particularly interested in comprehensive solutions that address complex environmental,
socio-economic, and technological issues.

Key Research Areas Include but Are Not Limited to:

Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources:

Effects of climate change on water availability and quality.
Application of climate models in water resource management.
Strategies for climate change adaptation in water resource management.

Smart Water Management Systems:

IoT-based water monitoring and management systems.
Applications of big data and artificial intelligence in water resource management.
Explainable AI in decision support systems for water resource management.

Multi-Objective Optimization and Soft Computing Techniques

Multi-objective optimization methods for water allocation.
Soft computing techniques (e.g., genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic) in water resource management.
Optimal design of integrated water resource management systems.

Remote Sensing and GIS in Water Resource Management:

Remote sensing for water resource monitoring and assessment.
